Most examinations will require either a flexible or rigid endoscopy to assess the nasal cavity and throat. This is a camera-based procedure. David will numb your throat and nose with Local Anaesthetic spray. The procedure may feel a bit uncomfortable but is not harmful, shouldn't hurt and there are no needles involved. 

This is a very safe procedure for both children and adults. The endoscope is a narrow, flexible telescope with a bright light. The Image is transmitted through lots of very fine glass fibers to a camera. David will look down the camera and on a display screen to view the images of your throat, nose and potentially your ear.
